Default Help installing DDM HID kit locally- Central FL area

Hello everyone, just wanted to know if anyone on here is in the Daytona Beach area and would be willing to help me out installing the DDM HID kit. I am brand spankin new to the Lexus family so I am still a newb with the whole DIY thing. On a Honda I would experiment and do it myself, but a Lexus... well I'd rather have some help from someone with experience. If anyone would be so kind to help out, I will pay for the gas and buy you a 12 pack of your favorite beverage. Thanks in advance.

If u were in Hawaii I'd do it. It literally took me 30 min to do both headlight and fogs. I bought an extra set of those bulb covers so I'd have a uncut pair if I wanted to go back to stock. But it was literally pnp.

I was surprised that the bulb actually fit prety snug in the housing. I installed a kit from a local shop in a friends car and it was so loose.

I've been running ddms for a year and a half and had one blow out in the beginning. Never had a problem for over a year now

the HID conversion is one of the easiest mods you can do.. the hardest part is cutting into the headlight cover with a hole saw as most hole saws are not made for plastic.. other than that, everything is easy.
